'Super Obama World' Game Features Prez-Elect, Palin, Pigs With Lipstick

by Lee Bains on November 14, 2008 at 12:30 PM




This week, video game design company Zen Soft launched Super Obama World, an online video game starring the President-Elect, himself, we learned from the Daily Mail.

Owing an obvious debt to Super Mario World -- the classic Super Nintendo game -- Super Obama World utilizes a similar side-scrolling format and squat, cartoonish characters. This, of course, is not President-Elect Obama's first foray into the world of video games.

In the game, which is free and requires Adobe Flash 9.0, players navigate a broadly grinning, pixelated Barack Obama through an Alaskan landscape, where he must battle (i.e., jump on top of) lipstick-wearing pigs and Alaskan fat cats, try to collect flag lapel pins and, finally, come face to face with a snow-mobile-riding Sarah Palin.
